No Man's Sky PS4 PlayStation 4 1

Managed to get your copy of No Man's Sky early? Having fun naming planets and wildlife before the title's officially out? Er, well, maybe you should sit tight a little longer – a programmer at Hello Games has revealed that the release's servers will be wiped on Sunday ahead of the title's release on Tuesday. If you're already playing the game then you won't lose your progress, but any discoveries that you've made will be erased. Sorry about that.

One copy leaked a few weeks ago, as an eager fan paid $1,300 to get his clammy hands on the hotly anticipated space-faring sim early. Retailers are now starting to break the street date, however, with our Twitter feed full of people who already have got their grubby mitts on the game. This has frustrated both publisher Sony and developer Hello Games, who have urged people to wait until launch day – presumably as it puts the finishing touches to a day one patch.

Have you got No Man's Sky yet? Are you sitting tight until the aforementioned update is available? Postpone your epic voyage in the comments section below.
